lfovco Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I looked at zoomed in shots and that actually looks pretty good. I would go with this one. One thing I would do is to ask your dealer to make sure that when the lever is in a closed position; it does sit against the crown really tight. I did that with my recent order, as a matter of fact a piece that I received yesterday and he has picked a really tight one for me. The factory QC on that sometimes can be pretty bad and when the lever does not sit tight enough when closed it kind of sucks and feels cheap/fake.

Funny that you asked....a friend of mine with huge muscles came over tried it.. He said he loved it and then walked out the door with it...I might never see it again I managed to get some quick wrist shots before he left......

Adeodatus Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I feel you Dr.Gran, I'm going to try the 288, just to see what the fuss is all about, but I don't think it will be a keeper. Personally I don't understand the fascination with Panerai. Maybe I'll see the "light", but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 You didn't even have it long enough to put a proper brown cow or gator strap on it I have ordered 2 of the new 088 one on the rep brown leather and one on the rubber The rubber while nice quality does not make the dial pop for some reason it really subdued the look where brown leather or preferably a nice brown gator strap makes it pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
